This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled 9p: virtio: make sure 'offs' is initialized in zc_request to the 4.19-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: 9p-virtio-make-sure-offs-is-initialized-in-zc_reques.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.19 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 940b902ece51d22fc99839e82328b85bf8588911 Author: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed May 3 16:49:27 2023 +0900 9p: virtio: make sure 'offs' is initialized in zc_request [ Upstream commit 4a73edab69d3a6623f03817fe950a2d9585f80e4 ] Similarly to the previous patch: offs can be used in handle_rerrors without initializing on small payloads; in this case handle_rerrors will not use it because of the size check, but it doesn't hurt to make sure it is zero to please scan-build. This fixes the following warning: net/9p/trans_virtio.c:539:3: warning: 3rd function call argument is an uninitialized value [core.CallAndMessage] handle_rerror(req, in_hdr_len, offs, in_pages); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reviewed-by: Simon Horman <simon.horman@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Dominique Martinet <asmadeus@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/net/9p/trans_virtio.c b/net/9p/trans_virtio.c index f7cd8e018bde0..6b3357a77d992 100644 --- a/net/9p/trans_virtio.c +++ b/net/9p/trans_virtio.c @@ -409,7 +409,7 @@ p9_virtio_zc_request(struct p9_client *client, struct p9_req_t *req, struct page **in_pages = NULL, **out_pages = NULL; struct virtio_chan *chan = client->trans; struct scatterlist *sgs[4]; - size_t offs; + size_t offs = 0; int need_drop = 0; int kicked = 0;
